I don&#39;t use any software to download my rides: instead the Garmin mounts as a USB hard drive on my Linux box, then I can find the files in:<br /><br />/media/GARMIN/Garmin/Activities/<br /><br />This is the first time I&#39;ve completely lost a ride, even though to this point I&#39;ve been equally careless with post-ride protocol. So it&#39;s a bit strange.<br /><br />According to <b>df</b>, there&#39;s still plenty of space left on the device.djconnelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-58305795404192488872010-08-09T16:01:51.379-07:002010-08-09T16:01:51.379-07:00Did you try downloading with any other software (y...Did you try downloading with any other software (yeah, stupid question, I&#39;m assuming you&#39;ve tried this). I&#39;ve had Ascent (my usual program of choice) not see a ride on my 305 occasionally (because of an odd, but repeatable, sequence) but the Garmin software (which otherwise sucks) will download the ride.rkhillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15001979905480745740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-56539846130827787312010-08-09T13:31:30.808-07:002010-08-09T13:31:30.808-07:00assuming little or no wind...assuming little or no wind...Hefnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315693310281880419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-43684120550704733932010-08-09T12:12:16.870-07:002010-08-09T12:12:16.870-07:00I think there&#39;s two reasons:

Deep rims are of maximal beneficial when there&#39;s a bit of cross-wind. Compare the Ardennes (a shallow dish wheel) to the Stinger 9 on the <a href="http://www.hedcycling.com/aerodynamics_technology/" rel="nofollow">Hed data plotter</a>. The rear wheel gets &quot;dirty air&quot; from the side, never head-on, so the deep dish may actually still be of considerable benefit here, even if overall wind drag tends to be less.<br /><br />This second point is just conjecture on my part. Certainly handling plays a role, although the latest toroidal rims from Hed and Zipp seem to handle cross-winds better than the first-generation deep rim shapes. <a href="http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=75500&amp;start=0" rel="nofollow">See for example this review</a>.djconnelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-59181089490715420732010-08-09T11:56:59.460-07:002010-08-09T11:56:59.460-07:00ALERT - Changing topic!

I have been wondering why it has become almost the &quot;norm&quot; to run a deeper profile rim in the rear vs. the front when the front wheel has more of an impact on drag. What are your thoughts on this? Is the trend correct or a bad fad?Hefnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315693310281880419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-54803581717341005632010-08-08T16:18:57.616-07:002010-08-08T16:18:57.616-07:00I have a love/hate relationship with mine.

It is almost good now, but Garmin have decided to mess up the speed in the latest version, so I frequently get bursts of speed 10km/h+ faster than I actually am going... I want to love it, but Garmin are making it hard.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15372083206231581445noreply@blogger.com
